Herefordshire Food Links Directories
As well as the online Directory, we also publish a hard copy version, featuring many of the members listed here - great for giving out to customers, or for guests in holiday cottages, hotels and b&bs. If you would like some of these, they are avilable from local food retailers, or directly from Herefordshire Food Links - get in touch for your copy.

On 24th Jan 2011 the government launched its Foresight Report on Food and Farming Futures. The report makes clear that global hunger is one of our most urgent challenges and says that the current food system is unsustainable and needs to be radically re-designed.
The report also emphasises that increasing yields must not come at the expense of sustainability, and recommends that the most 'resource intensive' foods are curbed and that waste in food production is minimised
The Herefordshire Food Partnership has been grappling with these very issues in order to identify solutions to some of the challenges of securing the future of food in Herefordshire.
A series of events was held around the County which set out why we need to take a strategic approach to food; proposed a set of priority actions to address some of the key local and global issues; and asked the people of Herefordshire for their views on those priorities.
